Re: Spring 1990 Box Set |
Might as well just say "The 70s."
I enjoy the 89-90 period, but there is no way that 1989-90 is better than 1968-69. Come on, Bob. Get real.

Re: Spring 1990 Box Set |
All in the ears of the beholder. To my ears, 68-69 are the most overated years of their history. Would much rather listen to ANYTHING from '70 to '90 than either '68 or especially '69. No Joke!

Yikes! Well, to each his own... But personally I'll take Dupree's> Mtns of the Moon> Dark Star> Stephen> Eleven over pretty much anything else in their repertoire.

Re: Spring 1990 Box Set |
I agree, even though we are in the minority. That era sounds like pots and pans to me.

Re: Spring 1990 Box Set |
To each his/her own, but I'd much rather listen to "pots and pans" than hearing a keyboard sounding like half-filled milk bottles.
At least that's $200 that I will be "saving."

Re: Spring 1990 Box Set |
I should have added that I'm probably also in the minority, just on the 68 side.
Though my current "favorite" period is December of 73. A time that makes you wish that Donna had another child or two.
btw: Recently I dl'ed a 1990 show, 9-20 (my b-day), in order to listen to a dark star that receives high marks. Though surprisingly, I have yet to be in the mood to give it a spin.

Re: Spring 1990 Box Set |
December '73 fan myself... often go to sleep to Dark Star>Eyes>Stella Blue from 12/6.
But for some reason, I have really been digging Sept. '90 lately, specifically the DP + RT releases, and the New Year's Eve show as well. And I have been a hardline Keith-era guy forever.
Vince was given some super cheesy keyboard sounds to work with, but man...B.M. CHOSE his. Somehow this makes me give Vince a pass. That and his singing doesn't make me want to jump out a window with quite such urgency.
I'm sure I'm in the minority too though.

Re: Spring 1990 Box Set |
That's a very good point regarding Vince and his keyboard selection. Even though I've known it, it still didn't stop me from blaming him for it. Until now...THANKS!!!
Ok, I'll give 90-09-20 a listen and return to the day that I turned 40.

Re: Spring 1990 Box Set |
I think part of the reason Bob thinks so highly of that period is that he was more a "leader" , showman in this period, and the band was relatively tight and energetic .
